What is the difference between bug and defect?

Answer Posted / mercy

I feel that bug and defect are all the same. Some
organizations use any discrepancy between actual and
expected as bug and some as defect. The terminology we use
is....a discrepancy is called error at the tester's site,
it is called defect finally after accepted by the developer
and as a bug when found in the software after release into
production. Correct me if I am wrong.
